KRYZ Mariposa Community Radio is a non-profit independent radio station dedicated to supporting, informing and entertaining the Mariposa and surrounding community.
Besides excellent music, programming also includes local content, matters of public interest, events announcements as well as broadcasting of local events, including Live coverage, Public Service Announcements, and more. KRYZ Radio is also working with local agencies to be able to better provide the community with updated information during hazardous conditions or emergencies. KRYZ is continually evolving and growing. New shows and programs are being added all the time, as members of the community are expressing and sharing their interests in music and the arts, news and current events, poetry, health, cooking, social causes, and more. For a complete schedule, list of shows, community events calendar, and more, please go to the KRYZ Radio website at www.kryzradio.org. KRYZ can be listened to anywhere and on any device, via streaming audio player, which can be found on the KRYZ website and Facebook page. KRYZ also streams via phone app, a link to which can be found on our website. In and around Mariposa, KRYZ also transmits at 98.5 on low power FM, but has limited reach. KRYZ would like to be able to extend that reach to community members in the outlying areas, and is working toward that goal. There are many ways you can participate to support KRYZ! You can tune in and listen. You can become a member. Many of our listeners are also members who support the station through membership. You can become a DJ and host your own show. If you appreciate a particular program, you can become a sponsor. Like other local businesses and organizations who support and believe in us, you can become one of our underwriters. You can play our station in your office or workplace. Many local businesses are playing our station! Or you can become a volunteer, we are always in need of volunteers. All levels of participation are appreciated. KRYZ offers many great benefits, and provides a great service to the community. We hope you will join us and support KRYZ Mariposa Community Radio. |
KRYSRadio was an idea that was presented by Patrick Scott Edwards to The Chrysalis Institute board in October of 2012. The board unanimously voted for the creation of the KRYS Radio Project. Shortly after Rachel Oliver, a founding member of The Chrysalis, organized a benefit dinner where we raised enough funds to start the project.
Kevin Bowman and Tom Pimentel, both members of The Chrysalis, put together the technical aspects of an Internet Radio Station and soon we were up and running. KRYSRadio is dedicated to giving a voice to the Central Rural Mountain communities. Through the dedicated efforts of all the KRYS volunteers, we hope to inform, inspire and entertain our community. We hope you all enjoy our shows. When we received our FCC Construction permit, we chose the call-sign of KRYZ-LP since KRYS was already in use. So in keeping consistent with our official call-sign KRYZ-LP we changed our internet radio from KRYSRadio.org to KRYZRadio.org If you are interested in hosting a show or would like to volunteer, send us an email using the Submit Form on the Contact page. |
